Uh. A while ago someone told me that my truck wasn't flex fuel, but I was almost certain it was.
And I was right

Who else has a flex fuel?
And who actually uses different fuel with it?

 

E85 is a waste of time and money it burns faster than regular gas. You may be saving money casue it is cheaper but your gonna be filling up more.

 

In Rhode Island It Coast More For Flex Fule

 

Mines flex-fuel, but I've never even seen E85 at any station around here, so I've never used it.

 

Mine is FF as well, but I've heard too many bad things about it. I'll stick to my mid-grade.

 

My dad uses it all the time in his tahoe... but at the smart station its still around $2 a gallon so

EDIT: The smart station is an ethanol plant owned pump station (credit card only type) and its like 1/4 mile down the road from the plant.

 

gas currently is 3.29 a gallon regular
E85 is 2.89

I could see someone wanting to save the extra money, but there just gonn end up spending more since it burns faster

 

I have run it in my truck for about the last year and a half or so. Yes you do lose mileage, but I ran the numbers and I lose approximately 2 mpg using E85. If it is cheap enough I can come out ahead, but usually by only a penny or so per gallon. So if E85 is 75 cents cheaper or so I come out a little ahead, just have to keep track and see when it is no longer cost effective.

 

do we even have e85 in central florida?

 

I don't think so Cuda.

 

x2
ive never seen a station that sells it around UCF

 

We actually talked about this in Chemistry today. It costs about 13 cents a mile to use gas and 14 somthing cents a mile to use E85.

I'm glad reg. is coming back down!!!

 

I have it aobut 20 miles from me, inconvenient, and I would end up filling up and paying more, getting 2mpg or less than I am now...only 3.29 compared to 3.69 regular

 

did it have a green leaf on the tailgate?

3.0's had different fuel lines i think and bigger injectors.

 

Theirs a place here in portland that sells e104 it's 5.69$ a gallon. Thought it was a myth but drove by the station today after work and poof their it was..I think the s/c might like that!

 

actually there is a e85 station in Tallahassee, there is also one in Lakeland. I've filled up on the Tallahassee one but its not cheap enough here to be worth it.
